- Worth noticing
- The page also describes sorting records by BPM, key, and genre, plus printing price tags with grades and seller branding.
Field notes
The described flow uses a label photo, with catalog numbers and dead-wax matrix codes as clues to a specific pressing. The page also says users can attach media, sleeve, and audio grades to Discogs entries, and describes sorting by BPM, key, or genre plus offline use in the stacks. These are homepage-described capabilities; the product is seeking beta users, and a store-specific plan is still being built.
